I'm not saying that it's right or wrong. Just that once it's up on the web anywhere it's almost impossible to do away with. I don't recall if Baen had a link to the 5th imperium or not but if they did then someone had to have known they were there. And it's possible that the original poster did ask permission (to make sure there wouldn't be any problem) before posting them. And if so I'd think Baen probably did have some communication with the authors about it. Certainly Ms. Bujold exercised her right to ask her ebooks be removed from the cd files so she knew (at some point) of their existence.
